The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

Chapter 40: Another purge of the old royal family in the capital

The news that Prince Jing Kang had stationed 200,000 troops around the capital shocked the sisters. However, I also told them that many of them were just a motley crowd of servants and bandits, and there were less than 50,000 elite soldiers. Qi Xinyue, Lin Wanyi, and Li Wanjun all put forward their own tactics and insights. I thought their opinions were very good and they were all talented generals. So after a tense and intense discussion, everyone finally made a bold and decisive decision: Han Shuang and Zhao Rou would serve as the vanguard, responsible for sealing the entrance to the mountain where the enemy was located; while Li Wanjun would follow me and sneak in along the mysterious path, launching a surprise attack on the enemy; at the same time, Qi Xinyue and Lin Wanyi would lead their respective armies, split into two groups, and launch surprise attacks from two paths behind the mountain, directly attacking the enemy's flanks and rear; finally, Lin Jin, Zhao Ning and others would act as the strong backing of Han Shuang and Zhao Rou, responsible for setting up numerous checkpoints at the front mountain road intersection to block the enemy troops who tried to escape. Thus, a carefully planned and long-premeditated massacre began.

In this thrilling battle, the valiant female generals bravely led the charge, fearlessly charging into the enemy lines. With thunderous force, they unleashed wave after wave of bloody and brutal slaughter upon the unsuspecting enemy. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with the roar of blood, the flash of swords and sabers continued, blood stained the ground red, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

The assassin, Miao Xiuli, followed us all the way into the rebel stronghold. After all, Prince Jingkang was still imprisoned, and his generals had no preparations without orders. Miao Xiuli had previously enjoyed Prince Jingkang's trust, so she led us into the stronghold without noticing anything unusual. We disguised ourselves as Prince Jingkang's subordinates, entered the stronghold, and suddenly attacked, catching the enemy off guard. The commander and deputy commander were killed, and the other leaders were unable to organize an effective counterattack. After all, they were a motley crowd. The commander and deputy commander who truly understood how to mobilize troops were killed, and the group became a chaotic mess. After we destroyed the rebel command system, we released signal flares from the heights of the stronghold, notifying the other commanders to join the attack.

As Miao Xiuli had predicted, aside from the 50,000 regular troops, the rest were a ragtag group of bandits, completely ineffective. Miao Xiuli even went out of her way to kill several bandit leaders as a token of her loyalty. Seeing her tactful approach, I lost interest in pursuing the poisoning. I felt a sensible person was easily manageable, so I eventually accepted her, and she burst into tears of gratitude. The battle dragged on for a long time, but everything was under control. The bandits roamed the mountains, pursued by our various armies. Each commander killed countless enemies, their heads piling up like a mountain. In the end, we counted 80,000 rebels and bandits killed, and the remaining 120,000 captured. Fortunately, fewer than 5,000 rebels were killed, all of whom surrendered. The remaining 70,000 or so were bandits, weak in combat and unable to pose a significant threat to our professional soldiers. Therefore, fewer than 2,000 of our soldiers were killed, primarily in battles with the main rebel force. Fewer than 3,000 were wounded, and not a single female commander was injured. Seeing my sisters all intact made me smile with joy! A battle of 400,000 men resulted in only a few casualties. I lament the King Jing Kang's truly unfortunate fate! If he hadn't sent Miao Xiu Li to poison me, he wouldn't have lost all his cards! Sometimes, pigs are truly foolish! If he had led these troops to attack the capital, even if success wasn't guaranteed, it would have at least resulted in heavy casualties for us sisters. I can't help but sigh that the world is unpredictable, and good deeds are rewarded. I no longer have any grudges against sparing Miao Xiu Li's life. I sincerely thank her for leading the way, allowing us to successfully advance into the main stronghold and slay the enemy's main and deputy commanders, making defeating the enemy much easier!

In this battle, many sisters were rewarded for their contributions. Li Wanjun, for breaching the rebel main camp and beheading the rebel commander and deputy commander, was directly promoted to the rank of Second Rank General of the Left and Right Wuwei Guards, empowered to command 100,000 troops and also to command other units, equivalent to the rank of Marshal in wartime, with 10,000 personal guards. Zhao Ning was also promoted to the rank of Second Rank General of the Left and Right Weiwei Guards, commanding 50,000 troops. Han Shuang was promoted to the rank of Third Rank General of the Right Lingjun Guards, commanding 25,000 troops. Su Jin was promoted to the rank of Third Rank General of the Right Weiwei Guards, commanding 12,500 troops. Zhao Rou was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Left Jinwu Guards, commanding 5,000 troops. Qi Xinyue and Lin Wanyi were largely absent from this battle, so they received no rewards.

After the Jingkang Prince's rebellion was completely annihilated, I returned to the capital with my generals. We brought the rebellious generals to court, publicly announced their crimes, and punished them according to the law. I then ordered the execution of the Jingkang Prince in prison and the extermination of his entire clan as a warning to others. Simultaneously, over 500 vassal nobles within the capital who had colluded with the rebellion were arrested, implicating tens of thousands of their families, descendants, and subordinates. For a time, the capital was engulfed in bloodshed, with over 15,000 people being beheaded or executed by lingchi. This operation completely eliminated the influence of the old royal family, virtually wiping out any remaining vestiges of their power.
